1987 Stuart Bakery - tradebait

Jason S. sent me some cards I've never seen before. He suggested that I use them for trade bait. They're oddball enough that some of you might actually nibble.

The card panels that came my way are 1987 Stuart Bakery cards. The SCBC says:

Twenty-eight four-part folding panels make up the 1987 Stuart Super Stars set, which was issued only in Canada. Three player cards and a sweepstakes entry form card comprise each panel. All 26 major league teams are included with the Montreal Expos and Toronto Blue Jays being represented twice. The cards, which are full color and measure 2-1/2" x 3-1/2", are written in both English and French. The card backs contain the player’s previous year’s statistics. All team insignias have been airbrushed away.

I've scanned the Braves (2) and the Indians (18), but also have the Expos (7), Padres (12), Giants (13), Orioles (14), White Sox (17), Tigers (19), Twins (22), and the Blue Jays (27). The numbers refer to SCBC's numbering of the unnumbered panels. The whole checklist is below.

So, I'd really like to use these as legitimate tradebait. Find something on my wantlists and hit me up (mark DOT aubrey AT gmail DOT com). You know you want them. If it isn't on the wantlists, you could try offering a tobacco card or two. Not necessarily of ball players. Offer some vintagey goodness. You'd be surprised what I'd take in trade.
